I'm used to describe myself as "just a little person. Always struggling to get to know what is out there in the World and Humanity, trying to travel as much as I can because life is too short to get arrested inside a computer in a room or just in academic studies. I'm a photographer who tries to find dreams inside reality and reality inside dreams. I'm very interested into cultural diversity such as topics related like society, arts, music and everything alike. I can easily enjoy from peaceful and quiet places like a silent beach in the middle of nowhere to a crowded and crazy big town. I consider myself an easy-going person and I love to exchange every kind of thing I am able to exchange with someone: specific experiences, knowledge, possible dialogues, art stuff...everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being on Couchsurfing to me is one of the best opportunities to have this contact with people and get inside of the real local culture when traveling. So, I believe in a better world when we can exchange things than to pay for it. Sustainability is a GOAL for our future! And that's it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything I am able to teach and share as knowledge to life or profession I don't deny myself to. So, as a visual artist and multilingual I promise to teach everything I'm able to which is related to that. So, regarding languages, even if I am not a language teacher, I promise I'll try my best.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My promise is to share everything I have and I am as a person, my best feelings such as skills of what I do in my life.
